ooui, anu "li persons, on this
earth he selected Scnor Juaqnin Costello
as n teacher. joaquin grinncd and mado
cigarritos rapidly when he understood
what Mr.. Brown had come to him for,
He agreed, however, Il, once TO give tho
lessons, and he suggested they should
take place at Senior Munoz's house. The
spectacle of MIR. Browns work on the
guitar under the instruction of Senior
Costello, with Tercno looking on, would
have moved bronze statuetto to tears
The curious part Of the thing was that
Tcrcno could play the guitar herself, and
play ii well. The number of times that
girl tried to get Mr.. Brown to practice
the instrument when she could tell him
when he was wrong could not be told,
Unfortunately Mr.. Brown, in bull
headed kind of way, had made up his
the aid OF Senor Costcllo's instruction,
and rs it was impossible for Tcres,a to
tell him that Juaqn had wanted her to
marry him only two years before, the
lessons went on rs per agreement.
AS might have been expected, Juaouin
had made up his mind that the mules
which Henry Brown owned were worth
qures. Finding that MIR. Brown did
not understand monte, Senor Costells in.
vited him to play. Tor the first two
weeks Mr.. Brown won, and he told
Tcresita about his luck. As she knew
monte, and also knew joaquin, she urged
upon Mr.. Brown the wisdom of letting
the game alone. He laughed at her, as
he often did, and told her he could take
care of himself. As this was told in his
excessively curious Spanish, which no
one but la senorita could understand,
she sighed. and thought she had been
wrong. Because it seemed to her that
he was so strong and so brave it could
not be true that, ''el maldito, zat Jua.
9uin, can be more good. Carron! No.
Senor.' And then Tercno went back in
the yard to make special candle on a
string for the church next Sunday.
Unfortunately, one evening, after the
lesson on the guitar, Juaquln and Harry
left the Munoz cabin and walked down
to the fonda. They sat down at monte,
and had plenty of mescal brandy on the
table. AT first Harry won, but as the
game went on the luck changed. 1t is n
fact that if man will play monte and
is apt to lose his head. Mr.. Brown lost
his first, then ali his money, then his
watch, then his pocket knife, and then
his mules. Then he did what he ought
to have done before-he went to bed.
The next morning, when Mr.. Brown
got up, he drained the water jug and
dressed. Going down stairs. he wan.

1t was during that afternoon that
joaquin called upon old Pedro Munoz,
and they had a short interview. When
Mr.. Brown went around in the evening
as usual, old Pedro asked him to discon-
"Porque, senor?" he was briefly and en-
phatically informed that any man who
would put up team of good mules in
game with Senor Costello was too big
fool to visit at the Munoz mansion. Tho
result was that Mr. Brown retired to his
room in the fonda, and delivered himself
of the choicest collection of profane ex-

Brown woke up early, and after dressing
wandered down the road to where Tere-

looked at the house, feeling about as mis-.

that now he did not have five cents with

mails left. he did not even know how he
was going to get out of the place unless
he walked, and he recollected with pain
the weary miles to be covered before he
could get to Santa Cruz.
MIR. Brown started when he felt hand
